Abstract:
Objective:To understand the discharge preparation and health education needs of parents of children in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) , and to provide the basis for taking scientific and effective health guidance programs.Methods:Using the purposive sampling method, a total of 13 parents of newborns who were hospitalized in NICU of a municipal maternal and child health hospital in Zhejiang Province from May to July 2020 were selected as the research objects. A descriptive research method was used to conduct semi-structured interviews with parents of newborns, and the data was analyzed using the Colaizzi 7-step method.Results:Three themes and five sub-themes were extracted, namely psychological state, knowledge needs (including two sub-themes of knowledge identification needs and disease-related knowledge needs) and seeking multi-party support (including three sub-themes of medical support, social support and peer support) .Conclusions:Parents have more needs during the transition period after NICU children are discharged. As medical professionals, they need to provide psychological support, professional health guidance and establish multiple ways of care and support, in order to promote the smooth transition of NICU children to home care.
